I was never great or even good at Chinese; in fact, I was one of the "suckers" in my class. I never had a full grasp on it even when I reviewed it over and over and over again. I never could even speak a correct sentence in Chinese, they were always mixed with English. And during chinese class, when the teacher talks --who by the way always speaks in Chinese no matter what--I just stare into space, doodle, and only understand a quarter of what she was saying.
And there are times where I feel as if I'm a disgrace or something because my chinese is not spot on. It may not mean anything to you, maybe a little, but sometimes knowing a language you are familiar with can go a long way.
I felt the same way because when i moved to Venezuela in 2nd grade i was terrible in spanish if you really want to learn a language try your best to understand it ... Great Job
ReplyDeleteNice Confession, its a good idea. Same with me when I was in Greece, in about 2nd Grade, I was the suckie one in the Greek class. Its was frustrating for me because I used to be fluent in it...only when I was very young though.
